The Mitte district is one of Berlin’s most dynamic areas, a place where galleries, cafés, and a sizable proportion of the city’s media and design studios attract travellers from around the globe.

Located at this hip epicentre of Berlin, Lux 11 is a luxury boutique hotel catering to global-minded, design-oriented travellers in search of Berlin’s creative vibe.

The stylish establishment (click on photo to enlarge and see slideshow) blends contemporary design with historical grace notes and extends over three connected 19th-century whitewashed buildings, each seven storeys.

During their stay at the hotel, guests can experience German cuisine at Luchs Restaurant, find the latest fashions at Ulf Haines (a concept fashion store), dance the night away to Berlin’s top DJs at the Lodge Bar, or indulge in Aveda-based hair treatments at the Beate Kahlcke hair salon. Please note that this is one of the most in-demand hair salons in the city, so booking your appointment a few days in advance is highly recommended.

The 72 rooms, designed by London-based architects Claudio Silvestrin and Giuliana Salmaso, offer a minimalist, uber-chic décor with suede chairs, compact kitchens, and flat-screen TVs.

Lux 11 – with its East Berlin cool and cosmopolitan flare – is the ideal resting spot for the trendy, independent global jet-setter.
